Pay attention to the plastic that you consumer because it itsn't easily bio-degradable and plastic fills up the nation's garbage dumps. But consuming paper and paper products is about as enviro-friendly as it gets. Heck, if you put a catalog in your backyard, it would be completely broken down by the sun/rain within 3 months.

Yeah, I always get a kick out of the tree comments. If you want to complain about waste, go after the fuel used to create things...any things.
It's also tricky to complain about the cost of creating these catalogs being passed on to the customers. Advertising is typically thought of as something that increases sales, and increased sales can mean lower costs to customers. But I'll never win that argument with this crowd, as everything's about the AH's screwing the world, right?
